The Law of Attraction has become a buzzword in business and personal development over the last few years, and there many different interpretations of this principle, ranging from the very sensible, to the more radical, "out there" ideas of some new age "gurus."
Personally, I was first introduced to this approach by the writings of world-famous psychologist Albert Ellis who never actually used the term "Law of Attraction," but was in fact describing the same phenomena.
Ellis shook the psychological world on its head by proclaiming "You are what you think about." His work has been nothing short of groundbreaking; one recent survey by the APA (American Psychological Association) showed Ellis to be the second-most influential psychologist of all time (ahead of even Freud!, and second only by humanist pioneer Carl Rogers).
So my belief in attraction is based more on the clinical and observable than wild-eyed conjecture, and the more I have studied this philosophy, the more my life has improved--every area of my life, including my former anxiety problem.
So what is the Law of Attraction? At its core, it is based on the scientific principle that "like molecules tend to attract," or more simply "like attracts like." This is not conjecture; scientists have understood this basic principle of nature for ages.
But the Law of Attraction takes this one step further: to the level of thought. In other words, your thoughts attract or repel just as molecules do; you have literally attracted everything that is in your life to you based on your habitual way of thinking. Or as Albert Ellis described it, "You become what you think about."
Right about now, you might be thinking, "wait a minute Jon; are you telling me I attracted my anxiety and/or panic attacks into my life?"
The short answer is, yes. Your habitual way of thinking has attracted anxiety and panic into your life. And when you change your habitual way of thinking, you will change what you are attracting--including the anxiety.
Now some people are very uncomfortable with this thought. It places the responsibility squarely on the individual, and many people would rather not accept this responsibility. It's easier in some ways to assume the cause of our difficulties is outside of us, not based on what we are doing (and thinking). But in the end, this "victim" approach is unsatisfying.
Without accepting your role in creating the anxiety, you will never overcome it. Step #1 is always accepting that YOU are responsible for the anxiety--every bit of it. There can be no further progress until this concept is both understood and accepted.
Step #2 is learning to attract peace of mind into your life and to stop focusing on things that cause anxiety, or in fact, anything related to anxiety. This is achieved by becoming aware of what you give your attention to in your day-to-day life. I call this "being an effective gatekeeper of your mind."
What it all comes down to is this: you can't attract peace of mind and happiness into your life by focusing on anxiety and problems. It just doesn't work that way. You must learn to focus your attention exclusively on good things in order to attract good things. And this is not nearly as difficult as you might think.
Once you become aware of what is "on your radar" on a daily basis, it gets easier and easier to shift your attention to other things that feel better, and produce better results.
Remember it's all about what you are consistently giving your attention to. You really do "become what you think about," so stop giving your attention to things you don't want in your life.
Law Of Attraction How To
Now this is all based on principles such as the Law of Attraction and Huna's four levels of reality. As you study the Law of Attraction and those who wrote about it, such as Atkinson, Hill, and others, you can see that all sorts of before unseen and unknown abilities can be discovered and attracted into your life, such as:
1. Remote viewing. You can know what happens at distant locations from where you "are". Most of us think we are only stuck to this meat body we've been nurturing along all these years. But one of the key principles of Huna is that "There are no limits." We are all connected. This is a holistic view of interpreting this world and our immediate (and longer-range) environment.
There are many AmerIndian traditions of shamans being able to know things happening a long way from where they were. Modern CIA experimentation was able to utilize people who had honed this talent to work on finding lost agents or peer into other nations' defenses.
2. Shape-shifting. Traditions hold that shamans were able to assume the shape of any animal (or plant) to gain information.
However, this is a more common ability than generally thought. Ever sat in your car and something "didn't feel right"? And then you found something was out of order, or someone had changed something in or about that car. Generally, this is because you tend to extend yourself into your car (or whatever you drive) in order to operate it.
Similarly, you can "know" something is different about your pet. It takes familarity. Old farmers (from long lines of farmers) who had raised years and years of crops could "intuitively" know what was needed by a certain crop that year - and whether they could do anything right now, or what to do if they didn't get that rain, etc.
Familiarity and intuition are linked - but certain people with "tele-sensory" talents might be able to get data others were missing. Dowsers fall into this category.
3. Lucid dreaming. The fact, as posited by Serge King and observed by many, is that we dream constantly. Just put your mind in idle and you start to see this - it's called day dreaming by some. When we "sleep" at night, we are really surrendering to this dreaming completely. Some think they don't dream, but if you lay still on waking and try to remember what you were just thinking about, you'll find some interesting dreams you'd been having.
In lucid dreaming, you can exert some control over what you are dreaming - in that dream world you inhabit for that little while.
Some explanation for dreaming is found in Huna as one of the four levels of reality is symbolic. Things can stand for other things. So when you change something in a dream, it will affect it's opposite thing in the "real world" we live in.
This one has texts written about it and it worth exploring by everyone.
4. Trusted communication. Silva got this down to a fine art. Atkinson also talked about this in his books, as well as Bristol. As we are all connected, we can influence others around us - within the limits of treating them as we would like to be treated. The Golden Rule is inexorable - you can't fudge on this one.
But you can work at communicating to people so that they recieve your thoughts accurately and know what you intend and what you would like them to do for you. This works great in sales, by report. But only if you are offering an ethical product which will factually improve their lives. (Disaster looms for people who are selling fake snake-oil. History proves this over and over.)

There are many more advanced abilities people can discover. If you check out Silva UltraMind, you can see a great deal of these being developed for practical use. But study the classics and older religious texts and legends - you'll see how these advanced abilities were not unknown in and around us, on every continent.
You may also see how various sects abused these abilities, and other sects discriminated against anyone trying to learn these. (Like how modern "science" discriminates against religion in general.)
But you can also see that "no one school has all the teachers" as Huna goes.
